Re: Santa Honey (2:22pm October 31, 2009):

I've been watching this trend for a few years. I've wathced the indies in my area go away to the point that there are only a couple in a 30-40 mile radius and I live near a large city. I also find it hard at times to find books of mid list authors I'm looking for and either request them to be ordered or order online. I love browsing in the bookstore and finding new authors. I am also an e-book fan. I've been pretty much house bound due to an injury and e-books have been great, but I still love a book I can hold. As a writer who isn't published yet, these trends scare me on two levels. Will it be harder to get into a publisher and once there with the print runs being cut how hard will it be to get a readership that will support you to keep you from being cut from the publisher?
